What is Drama Therapy

Drama Therapy uses elements of theatre to help people explore and express their emotions, thoughts, and personal experiences. Some elements used are toys, mask making, drawing, music, role-playing, and storytelling. Drama Therapy unlike traditional theatre is not about creating a finished product to be shown to an audience. This approach provides the context for participants to tell their stories, set goals, solve problems and express feelings. Drama Therapy can be helpful for people of all ages.
